Arlo the dog loves Austin Dogtown Dog boarding and daycare

“Austin Dogtown is the best social club there is! 

The humans rule and there’s always something going on. My favorite part of the day is sitting on the wall and dog-watching. It’s a full-time job. If you want some tea, best believe I’ve got it!”

Check Daycare Availability
“Daycare has been a great outlet for him while also reinforcing healthy and safe ways to play. I love that the Austin Dogtown staff stresses the importance of following the rules and give them structure to follow throughout the day. I truly believe this is why Henry has such a healthy play style with every dog he meets and is confident enough to walk away when he’s overwhelmed or doesn’t want to be around a dog.”

— Kim B.

“Our favorite part about Austin Dogtown is the friendly staff of course! And all the super fun activities and enrichment provided for the pups on holidays and birthdays. Roxie is a very obedient, confident pup at home and I know it’s because of her daycare experience at Austin Dogtown!”

— Chrissy S.

“My dog gets to have a fun-filled day and comes home exhausted! Snoopy can be a bit shy and insecure around other dogs, but I have noticed he is getting braver and more confident with each visit!”

— Erin K.
